Taco Bell

Well, on this particular day, I was in the mood to try something different at Taco bell. They have a new menu item called the Grilled Stuffed Burrito with Chicken. It was okay. It was really bready and if given the choice between that and the usual, I would go with the old stand by: Mexican Pizza and Meximelt with extra cheese, please.

Ben and Jerry's

One scoop of Chocolate Fudge Brownie and a scoop of Chocolate Chip Cooking Dough in a waffle cone is about all one really needs to survive... and boy did Ben and Jerry deliver this time.

Grill 121-

It used to be Dan Marinos Town Tavern, if that means anything to you..


I wanted to order an appetizer because my Mom was famished and yes... it is Mother's Day after all.... My mother and I were torn between the Thai Lettuce Wraps and the chicken and cheese quesadillas. So I decided to ask a few questions to help us determine which one we would like.

me: What was is in the Lettuce wrap?

him: You use the lettuce to wrap everything in.

Um, okay, that's what I'm asking. So I tried it again.

me: What goes in the wraps?

him: No, the contents go in the lettuce. The lettuce is the wrap. (a little frustrated...?)


me: Yes, exactly.... what are the contents that go in the lettuce.... what am I going to be wrapping?

him: (finally, a worthy answer....) chicken and almonds. They are really good. Lot's of people order them.

me: Fine, we'll take it.

We then ordered our meal, which consisted of Chicken Panini with sun dried tomatoes and fresh spinach. This turned out to be really tasty. My mother exclaimed, "This now is the best sandwich I have ever eaten! Sorry Bungalow Bistro.... your chicken sandwich has to take a backseat to Grill 121.


Two things bothered me about this experience....okay... three.

One... The waiter took our drink orders; I ordered coke and my mother ordered diet coke. He turned back to me and said.. Diet right? No, no and hell no. I did not say diet... Just because I look like I should be on one does not give you the right to give me the second chance to get a diet after all.


Two...... When I order and appetizer, it should come before the meal. This guy brings it out with the main lunch, making us decide which we should eat first. I should have demanded that it go back to the kitchen and forget it... but I didn't.


Three....The whole lettuce wrap ordeal still has me fuming.

Bo's Again.....

Once you have a taste... it's like you gotta go back. It stays in your mind... calling out with it's quiet voice.... The only thing that may silence the voice is the increasing price...



Bo's... ahh...



I Chocolate banana milkshake..............again

Roma Pizza

Tonight, as usual, we all met up at Roma's again. This time, I split the Bruschetta Personal Pan Pizza with my friend Patty. I wasn't too hot on ordering the pizza, but she likes the bruschetta so we tried it. Of course, Patty loved it. As it turns out, I did not care for it and would not order it again. It was okay, but I like cheese on my pizza. You know, stringy, cheesy cheese- not feta...

yuck.. next time, something different.

Perkins

Today we had Perkins Lunch special. I was feeling a bit hungry but didn't have a lot of cash, so I figured I would give the new specials a try. You get to choose half a sandwich, two sides and a cookie. I ordered thinking, well, this will have to do... My selection was: Half of a Crispy chicken sandwich, side salad, french fries and a huge chocolate chip cookie.

For 5.99. this was an amazing deal! I am not a huge fan of Perkins, but the quality and value were tops!

I will definitely get this meal again. I was stuffed- didn't even finish the fries!

Way to go Perkins, for creating a real, value meal.

Stephanno's Pizza

Stephanono's is a relatively new pizza place in the Seminole Heights area. We ordered for pick-up. We decided to order from this place, cause we usually order from Cappy's. We ordered Pepperoni Pizza. It was OKAY. It was NY style, good, but not great. The pizza was kinda greasy but it still had a good taste. If given the choice, I would probably order from Cappy's. Sometime in the recent past, we did order from Stephanno's and were very pleased, which is why I highly recommended ordering tonight, but it fell flat.

sorry stephanno's, we'll try again another time.
